Dentist 2.0
Chipped a tooth.
My new dentist:
- Has a green office
- Uses a hazmat filling excavator. It was joy seeing pieces of silver sucked painlessly from my chipped tooth, up a clear plastic tube, into the sealed waste unit.
- A single xray revealed everything needed to map the 3D fit of the cap
- Information about my chipped tooth was loaded to a fabricator, which cut the cap in pure porcelain. 22...

Dumb and inert
“information can be just that, dumb and inert: it needs tools of interpretation and discernment and judgment in order to have meaning. “Definitive meaning,” as such, is a slippery slope indeed. In fact, the slope is steeper and more treacherous now as the sheer quantity of information (from Google Earth, TerraServer, etc.) grows. To see a photograph of a thing is to see a picture of that...

Greenfield interview excerpt
“Arthur C. Clarke said «any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic». Do you think [everyware] can lead to that kind of impression? Perhaps to visitors from the past…?

Ternary logic (-1, 0, 1)
Looking at very popular media art form such as ‘interactive installation’ I always wonder how people (viewers) are excited about this new way of manipulation on them. It seems that manipulation is the only form of communication they know and can appreciate. They are happily following very few options given to them by artists: press left or right button, jump or sit. Their manipulators...
